Writing about responsive design made me rethink how I approach layouts

While putting together a guide on responsive design, I realised something interesting.

Most of us still think in terms of breakpoints and media queries.

Modern CSS has gradually shifted the conversation towards building components that adapt naturally to available space using tools like Grid, Flexbox and Container Queries.

The article itself isn't really the point.

The interesting question is:

Has your approach to responsive design changed over the last few years?

Or do you still mostly rely on media queries?

Curious to hear how others build production frontends today.
